The area of a square is given. How can the length of a side of the square be determined?

To determine the length of a side of a square when the area is given, you can use the formula for the area of a square, which is side length squared.

So, if the area of the square is A, you can find the length of a side (S) by taking the square root of the area:

S = √A

For example, if the area of the square is 25 square units, the length of a side would be:

S = √25
S = 5

Therefore, the length of a side of the square would be 5 units.

To determine the length of a side of a square given its area, you can use the formula:

```
Side Length = √Area
```

where:

- Side Length is the length of one side of the square
- Area is the total area of the square

By taking the square root of the area, you can find the length of the side.

Here's an example:

If the area of a square is 144 square units, the side length would be:

```
Side Length = √144
```

```
Side Length = 12
```

Therefore, the length of each side of the square is 12 units.
